Lyrics:

I met my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by that riverside

I met my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Well, I asked her for a little kiss

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by that riverside

I asked her for a little kiss

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

She said: 'Have patience, little man

I'm sure you'll understand

I hardly know you're name,'

I said: 'If I can have my way

Maybe some sweet day

My name and yours will be the same,'

I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Way down by the riverside

Down by that riverside

I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Way down by the riverside

Down by that riverside

She said: 'Have patience, little man

I'm sure you'll understand

I hardly know you're name,'

I said: 'If I can have my way

Maybe some sweet day

My name and yours will be the same,'

I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Way down by the riverside

Down by that riverside

I'd wed my little bright-eyed doll

Down by the riverside

Way down by the riverside

Down by that riverside
